What new bike would you get

An XR1200. Have to change the exhaust (hate the "can" mufflers), but not much (if anything) else. The newer Sportsters are a little bigger & about 70 lbs. heavier, due to the larger frame / rubber-mount engine / swingarm design, but with the XR you get much better "upside-down" front forks, dual front disc brakes & the reduced felt vibration of the rubber-mount design.

You also get Buell XB cylinder heads, the best heads H-D ever offered on a production bike & from what I've seen, you don't need to spend $900 on an aftermarket tuner for an EFI Sportster - they run great off the showroom floor. The XR1200 is far & away the best Sportster ever made - only the rare 1200S (discontinued) even comes close. Unless you modify one yourself & of course that's fun too

I would have to have 2 bikes an '11 Screamin Eagle Ultra and a Dyna Super Glide . I miss my super glide for short trips.

I'd go to Bagger Nation and have one custom built the way I want it. I like some of the stuff Paul Yaffee does.

I think that I would go with any of the following. I would take a new CrossBones, Rocker C (heavily modify it), or build my own from the ground up. I am just not into the touring bike too much, but a RoadKing that is nicely done is worth some consideration.

WOW ! IT WOULD HAVE TO BE A Pro Street Bar Hopper! Hyperformance 160 Cu. In. 250 + HP 300 FT LB Torque Motor in a Weekend Pro Street Frame! Buell Front end !

630 Top Fuel Drive Chain because we all know "Real Bikes Have Chains"...Belts are for your PANTS !:roflmao:

With an optional wheelie Bar set up!
You Dont Steer It! You Aim It !:devil:
No Sissy Radio, rear seat, or sissy bar, NO HORN ! uke:

HeadLight, Brake Light, Tail Light! Yes ! After All It has to be Street Legal!:gah:

After 15 Years of Top Fuel Harley Drag Racing we never built a Motor for dependability! And I agree with what your saying!
But This Motor will be as dependable and run cooler then a New Twin Cam Factory Smog motor !

With 2 Carbs I can tune the Rear carb and adjust the timing and the cam duration to get the rear cylinder to run about 25-35 degrees cooler then a Stock Street Engine !

We Have a 151 cu in motor in a Dresser style frame with bags and fairing turning low
9's in the 1/4 mile and has over 35,000 + miles of road trippin, police chasin fun on her!
The motor has only had oil changes and tires and many many brake pads ....0 vibration @ 6000 rpm......Its not how Big you make it! It's Who's Making it Big!

The Pro Street bike Im building is designed to be overhauled @ the end of riding season! I mean Racing season ! And that only take about 10 hours to go through the motor and get her back in the bike ! In Drag racing we do a top end over haul between rounds! or about 45 min ! and this happens abouty 4 times on race day Ahhhhhhhhhh the smell of Nitro..... it's like Victory! And the Hotties are only good for cleaning the bike,,,,,not riding on the back!

A Night Train, black it out some more. Powder black pipes, bars and more. Lower it a bit. Add more power, more attitude, and more dark. (But no skulls or flames - just black). Oh, and a decent saddle - black of course.

A night train is a nice bike, just a little too much black for me.

I agree. The thing that I like about this forum is that we are so very different in so many ways, but we all share the most important thing of all. OUR LOVE FOR RIDING!:cheers:

I guess I like all bikes. I think they all have their place but I just choose an HD because they are the best and because they are American.

It was so cool today> When I was having my issues with my bike, there was like 6 people that had stopped to ask if everything was ok or what the problem was and if I needed some help. You know what, THEY WERE ALL ON A HARLEY!!!! :chopper::biker:

lottery??? I'd get a Ducati monster SR4s..with that stack o cash behind me I could afford to ride it. A lightly modded FXRS-sp would be fun as well..neither one of these is new so the new bike would be an Ultra Limited..I'd put on shorter shocks..trailer hitch , hook the buggy up to the back and go touring and spend some of that money seeing the country.

I found an Indian Chief for sale on the net here not too long ago. They were only asking 10k for it and it was almost completely restored too.
